In this episode of Lucid Journeys, we step straight into the uneasy déjà vu of the 2020s and ask why our world feels so much like the 1920s and 30s all over again—political polarization, economic anxiety, scapegoating, and the rise of strongman narratives. Are we truly doomed to repeat the same historical mistakes, or are we in a recurring season of human experience with a chance to respond differently this time.​

Through the lens of Phillip Aisling’s dreams, the Metaphysician’s 9D multiverse metaphysics, and Nietzsche’s idea of eternal recurrence, this deep dive explores whether history and our personal lives are stuck on a loop or moving in an evolutionary spiral. We follow Phillip’s recurring nightmare of Cynthia falling from the cruise ship and treat it as a mirror for our own cultural “predictions,” asking what changes when you realize timelines are probabilities, not prison sentences—and how even a small shift in perspective or courage can alter the fate of a single path.​​

You’ll come away with practical tools for recognizing repeating patterns in your own life—cycle‑tagging, using the eternal‑recurrence test on your reactions, and re‑framing “here we go again” moments as invitations to become just a little more lucid than the last time this season arrived. If you’ve ever looked at the news, or your own relationships, and thought “I’ve seen this before,” this episode is an invitation to step out of helpless repetition and into conscious participation with the cycle itself.
